Bucket List: a list of things a person wants to achieve or experience before they reach a certain age.
Everyone’s bucket list is different, and I suspect they would be significantly distinct from generation to generation.
The older you become, the Bucket List changes with each passing year, and they are things that are usually impossible.
Traveling, acquiring money, meeting someone famous, or becoming
famous is probably on a lot of lists. *yawn*
My list is short, and not because I
have done a great many things in my life, but it's more about the unattainable. Besides, anything on the list, short of the impossible, would simply be pointless at my
age. Essentially, my bucket list is sort of like a regret list; stuff I should
have done or thought to do when I was younger. If any item on my list happens, I hope it happens before I am too old to appreciate it.
Here is my list:
1. I would like to drive a fire truck just once. When I was in the military, I had a license to drive every vehicle they had, except one, a fire truck. (It could still happen.)
2. Speak at the UN to share my secret to the world. (Doubtful)
3. Have a backyard BBQ that lasts 2-3 weeks. (Maybe?)
4. Write something so ridiculously profound that current and future Artificial Intelligence would be incapable of defining. (You never know.)
5. Fly in a fighter jet. (We all have that one big dream.)
The first one is still doable, 2, 3,
and 4 are unlikely, and 5 is a fantasy dream. The BBQ would be awesome if famous
people I like attended and stayed the whole time. As for speaking at the UN, I doubt any change would
come of it, but it sure would be entertaining to see everyone’s reaction.
That’s it for my list. I would have
included winning the lottery, but money makes me crazy. Fame doesn’t excite me
either nor does traveling around the world just to see stuff.

Wisdom for the young: do what makes you happy, and it is better to act on your dreams instead of waiting for three wishes from a genie in a magic lamp.
